Sound Forensic Process

The Computer Forensic Process:

1. Assess Your Situation
We provide free initial consultation, over the phone or in person, to assess your situation and analyze the circumstances of your case in order to determine the proper action best suited for you. Determining whether your case will require legal reports prepared, testimony or a thorough review of the unallocated space of a hard drive are just a couple of key factors in assessing your case and budget.

2. Evidence Acquisition
The evidence acquisition process ranges from complete forensic hard drive imaging to gathering information from additional sources such as servers, cell phones and laptops. As well as implementing state of the art computer forensic tools and techniques, we are able to extract all pertinent files. This is performed in a manner consistent with the Best Practices of the Computer Forensic Guidelines, thus ensuring proper chain of custody and admissibility.

3. Evidence Analysis
Analysis of digital evidence is the process in which we seek out relevant and critical data files which in most cases act as concrete evidence. In the process of electronic discovery, data of all types are uncovered and can serve as evidence. This digital evidence can include dates and timelines on e-mails, images, calendar files, databases, spreadsheets, web sites visited, computer programs, deleted files, computer history and other computer activities.

4. Report Findings
Once the analysis process is complete, we will present you with an extensive report on the investigation. This report will be easy to understand and explaines our findings in precise detail. At this point in the process, you will have a clear and thorough understanding of your situation.

5. Expert Witness Service
If your case ends up in court we can provide you with expert witness services. We are qualified to analyze evidence and give a professional opinion regarding our findings in a clear and concise manner. Additionally, we are capable of providing a clearly defined, methodical and convincing counter argument to dispute any incorrect information the other side may put forward.
